Connecticut's success, golf with Supercow, springtime treats, the running of the bulls (or at least, our conservation manager), and asparagus in our tummies. Spring is in the air!

Cheese, please!
Our favorite spring treats include a deliciously stinky variety of raw milk cheese called "Hooligan" from Cato Corner Farm.

Did we mention that Beltane Farm has amazing goat milk yogurt?

Field Notes: Avoiding the Bull
